Immunosenescence in Caenorhabditis elegans
Immunity & Ageing, 2022 Immunosenescence is an age-dependent decline in immune functions and hallmark of aging in diverse species, ranging from invertebrates to mammals. However, identifying the factors responsible for immunosenescence is challenging because of the complexity ...

THE DNA OF CAENORHABDITIS ELEGANS [PDF]
Genetics, 1974 ABSTRACT Chemical analysis and a study of renaturation kinetics show that the nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans, has a haploid DNA content of 8 x IO7 base pairs (20 times the genome of E. coli). Eighty-three percent of the DNA sequences are unique. The mean base composition is 36% GC; a small component, containing the rRNA cistrons, has a

Immunometabolism in Caenorhabditis elegans.
PLoS Pathogens, 2020 Here, we discuss 5 concepts that have emerged in studies of metabolic and immune interactions in C. elegans. The major emerging theme is that the immune response and the ability to survive pathogen infection is heavily influenced by pathogen-induced changes in host metabolism.

Autophagy in Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 2009 Macroautophagy (or autophagy) is a catabolic process responsible for the degradation of long-lived proteins, molecules and organelles. Cellular stressors such as food limitation, space restriction, oxidative stress, temperature shifts, and accumulation of protein aggregates induce autophagy.

Reproductive Span of Caenorhabditis elegans Is Extended by Microbacterium sp.
Journal of Nematology, 2022 The reproductive span (RS) of organisms could be affected by different factors during their lifetime. In the model nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans, RS is affected by both genetic and environmental factors.
